Begs the questions as to why this tournament happens. Is it for law firms to play each other cordially and socially or is it to play in an uncouth fashion, swearing on the ground and winning all all costs by getting outsiders in? Just wondering like.
@ #15: I beg to differ, Mr. Tulsi and Mr. titus are good friend and are often seen together at social gatherings be it a talk show, a cricket match, Bar council or SC elections etc etc... So, its quiet obvious that Mr. Tulsi came in and cheered for Titus and Co. at the finals. If it wuld have been Mr. Tulsi's team playing the finale Mr. Titus would have been their to cheer Mr. Tulsi's team. Its not a breaking news.
So it happens for "law firms to play each other cordially and socially" and not for your outrageous imagination.
And how can I remain quiet being a confused person?.........And I read somewhere that Confusion has led to some of the most important discovering of modern time.....
Lets play the real game...nt the blame game :-))......No one complained when Titus got off to a bad start last year at Turf T20 when beaten by Luthra n Bhasin on the trot!!!!!However...the moment they started beating the oppositions n were crowned the champions.....some ugly heads rose frm hell!!!Well, rest assured...Titus assured they stay thr :-))).....Its a fresh tournament....n all the good teams have gt a kick start....lets see hw the tourney unfolds.
